Fragz' verdict
The Ryzen 7 5800X absolutely dominates this comparison, leading the Core 7 150U by a massive 297.9% in overall CPU score. This lead is evident across the board, with the Ryzen 7 5800X delivering 0.62 single-thread 1T Gop/s compared to the Core 7 150U's 0.16 Gop/s, which directly translates to significantly higher gaming frame rates, as seen with 66.8 FPS in Supernova DX11 versus 11.9 FPS. Its superior multi-threaded performance is also clear, hitting 7.8 integer MT Gop/s and managing 8,013,851 draw calls per second, ensuring smooth background tasks and complex game scenes. It's important to note that the Core 7 150U only has one verified run, making its results less certain compared to the 15 runs for the Ryzen 7 5800X. While the Core 7 150U boasts 10 cores and a peak clock of 7577 MHz, its lower L3 cache of 12 MB and overall performance metrics make it a distant second, suggesting it's not the processor for serious gaming based on these numbers.

What the numbers mean
The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
